Thanks for the kind words. I'm really glad that people are enjoying it. It was a good year's worth of work.
Interestingly, I have to say that, while I understand people seeing it as a trip back to 1977, it really isn't that for me. My memory of 1977 was seeing it in pristine glory, without any blemishes. I won't transport back to 1977 until SW is properly restored from a 70mm high quality print, like we saw back then in the theaters when it first came out.
I still can't believe that I've watched an original print from the 1970's with the mono mix. How lucky are we! Who knows...maybe one day there will be a 70mm restoration. Upon further reflection....this takes me back to the summer of '79 when I saw SW at a drive-in. The mono mix must have been used for that showing. The main attraction of the evening for me was a preview of ESB!
